In a device of the class described, a box a, this plate being slotted as at e to receive having a cover and provided with an opening the handle of the broiler. These supports in the bottom thereof, an elongated supfor the broiler in the front and rear walls of porting member rotatably secured to the the box are arranged at such a height that rear wall of the box, a broiler having its rear the broiler can be continuously rotated in its l end received in and held by said supporting support during the process of cooking, thus member and its outer or handle end rotatably avoiding the necessity of lifting the broiler mounted in the front wall of the box, the said to turn it or opening the box and letting the broiler at its rear end being supported smoke out into the room. throughout its width by said supporting The box as I make it is not of sufiicient size 1 member, the lower portion of the front wall to cover the entire opening in the top of the l of said box being hinged to the bottom of the stove made by removing the lids so I provide box whereby said broiler may be removed at each end of the box the iiaps g g which are from it's supports and mounted upon the adapted to be turned down to cover such l bottom of the box directly over the opening in the top of the stove as are left i in said bottom.
